duck egg blue chairs

good morning :)thought i'd show you some lovely old bentwood chairs i found earlier in the week.( and some ruby red roses Mike bought me)

i think they are the PERFECT shade of blue.duck egg blue would you say?thinking i might have to drag one of these chairs down toBunnings and get them to 'colour match' and make me up in a tin of paint...

pretty up against my blue floral "Cath Kidston" look tablecloth.

all the chairs needed was a good scrub. no painting needed.

we have my brother, sis-in-law and gorgeous 2 year old nephew staying with us for a week.my 31 week pregnant sista and i have hit loads of op shops and some garage sales early this morning. i keep checking that she's not too tired to keep shopping and get the same reply each time "NO! i'm fine!" LOVE that we have bargain hunting/shopping in common.she can't wait for the Sunday markets tomorrow :)

a few finds from this week:*chenille bedspreads*tea cup and saucer

*tiny glass cloche(just fits my crystal napkin holders underneath)

again, the weather is beyond perfect up here in Brisbane.sunny skies and a top of 24* forecast for the whole week.i have lots of painting projects to do, but not with a 2 year old around! might have to waittill next week ;)

about me

I'm a Mum to 2 girls, and live in sunny Brisbane. I love to decorate and furnish my home with vintage pieces, Ikea, eBay purchases and market and op shops finds. I have a weakness for scrolly chippy wrought iron furniture, and have a habit of painting everything white that crosses my path. I'm a primary teacher and teach part time at my daughter's school, as well as doing supply teaching. Although this keeps me busy, I can always find time for a coffee with friends and never miss a visit to my local 'trash n treasure' Sunday markets. I started this blog so that I can stop boring my face book friends with all my vintage finds, transformations around my home and 'before and after' pics of things I paint.
